Using the Adjustment Brush in Lightroom 3 from Jared Platt on Vimeo.
I try to stay out of Photoshop as much as possible. Why? Because Photoshop is like an addictive habit and once I am in there, I will spend way too much time on a photograph. So, my general rule of thumb is to only go into Photoshop when someone is paying me to do so.
So, that means that when I have an image that needs just a little bit of help, some of the localized adjustments that I used to do in Photoshop, I must do somewhere else. I can do most of them in Lightroom, without having to open Photoshop, and as a bonus, they are all sync-able from one image to the next.
In this video tutorial, I go through the process of working on an image with the adjustment brush to fix and enhance the image without ever going into photoshop.

Jareds Lightroom worshops Rock! If you can go to one you will not regret it at all!!!! I learned so much in the class that I took before Partnercon last year and I have literally cut my editing time in half if not more. Do not hesitate if you get a chance take one of his workshops trust me! Thanks again Jared for giving me my life back!!!
Wow! Very impressive -especially the skin tone at 11 minutes!
Jared -can you export this with all the adjustment layers?
Jared, I LOVE LOVE LOVE this tutorial! I needed help with Adjustment Brushes, and now WOO HOO! I agree that PS can become a total addiction! I LOVE the new LR 3 and I look forward to more tutorials as well as a workshop. Is Cali on your roster? Thanks for your help! If Misty says your workshop ROCKS, I totally believe her!
Just signed up for the newsletter. Too bad no trips to Orlando are planned. But I just learned a ton of new things from your video. Still most of the Photoshop software come without a book (but I do put down $45 bucks for one anyway) getting a visual is so much better. I can open up LR and practice on a photo as you speak. Thanks for the great tips!
